Batting a Thousand


A milestone was reached yesterday as the League reached the 1,000th at-bat of the 2010 season.  In the bottom of the third, with Kurt Mosser on the rubber, Peter Berwald stepped into the batters box and became Batter 1,000.  The game was paused for a brief ceremony, as pictured above.

It is very appropriate that da Commish be a part of this scene.  At this moment, captured above, as the League celebrated the 1,000 at-bat, Peter Berwald was either the batter or the pitcher in 325 of those at-bats.  Just under a third of all matchups involve him.  Amazing.

In this particular at bat, da Commish got a single.
